Meet Our Staff - Lauri

Introducing Lauri Arzola, RHS Quality Assurance Manager and Board Clerk

I attended Taft College in California and graduated with my Associate’s Degree. I studied Psychology and Social Studies. From there, I raised my two children and then when they got a little older I went back to school to become a Surgical Technologist Assistant. I worked in various hospitals and surgery centers. Currently, I work for RHS as a Quality Assurance Program Manager, Clerical Supervisor, and Board Clerk. I love working for RHS as I believe in the wide array of services that we provide, and enjoy working with great people who work to make a difference in people's lives. I enjoy developing the processes in each program RHS offers and making sure that we are compliant. Every day I learn and develop in my career with RHS.

Where did you grow up? (Family, schools, town)

*I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley of Taft California. I attended Taft College, San Joaquin Valley College, Bakersfield College and CSUB. My family made their living in the Oil Fields and we rode pumping units for fun and chased tumble weeds. :)

What does your currently family look like? (children, spouse, grandchildren)

*I have two great kids. Tori and Brydon. I became a Grandma last year to a beautiful little girl Ellla. She is the light of my life!

What do you do in your free time?

*In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors as much as possible. I like to fish, camp, and ride quads or 4 wheelers as Idahoans would say.  I also enjoy taking drives in my jeep and climbing hills. I'm planning on taking up guitar lessons this year.

Biggest accomplishment?

*One big thing I’ve accomplished is that I used to be in a symphony orchestra and we produced two records. I played first chair violin.

What is one motto you live your life by?

*Life is unpredictable, ADJUST ACCORDINGLY!

What was your most memorable vacation?

* I have a few, but probably the Hawaiian Vacation I took several years ago with my kids. It was so great to enjoy that time with just them and we had so much fun!
